On December 21st, 2011, the Social Media team at Research In Motion® (RIM®) celebrated the BlackBerry App World™ storefront, the BBM™ Ugly Sweater Expansion Pack, and of course the wonderful members of #TeamBlackBerry! With a special appearance by former New York Giants player Michael Strahan, guests rang in the holiday season in style – exploring some of the best apps that BlackBerry App World has to offer. Here’s what some of #TeamBlackBerry had to say:

We always love hearing praise from BlackBerry fans. We had a blast talking with everyone about their favorite apps, one of which was of course the BBM Ugly Sweater Expansion Pack (which builds on the already-fabulous Avatar Builder app by allowing you to customize your avatar with your favorite ugly sweater)! Check out the great feedback we got from a few of our guests:

As the holiday season quickly fades out of view, we’d like to take one last opportunity to say thanks and wish you all the best in 2012!

The holidays are coming up fast, #TeamBlackBerry – what are you doing to get into the spirit of the season? We’ve got one suggestion: Dress up your BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) avatar with an ugly holiday sweater! Starting today, you’ll be able to use the Avatar Builder app – Girls or Boys edition and the Ugly Sweater Expansion Pack to get your BBM avatar in on the fun (note: it may take up to 24 hours for the application to appear in BlackBerry App World).

*The Avatar Builder (Girls and Boys Editions) apps and add-ons (“Apps”) are available as free downloads from BlackBerry App World™. Depending on how you connect to your network, data charges may apply to download these Apps. Consult your carrier/network provider for details.
